There are different reasons on why we get viruses (or virii as others said). A common one reason is a computer infection. When we use computers (especially public computers), we usually plug in our flash drives. If the computer has virus in it, then there is a large possibilirty that your drive may be infected. If we plug it in on our own device, then it will infect ours too. Another factor is when we download from the internet. Not all files in the internet is safe. When we download a file, we should run a scan first before executing it.

∙ 11y agoComputer Viruses aren't like the viruses we get. The computer virus basically just screws up all functions a computer can do, depending on what the virus is and how powerful it is. They don't tear apart computers, they just jack up and severely confuse the memory systems, hard drives, motherboards, etc. They are illegal to be made and put into any computer because of the other things they can do.
